Who should attend

This course is for the more experienced practitioner. Trauma is a complex subject, therefore, attendees should understand Attachment Theory and how their own attachment pattern impacts on those they are working with.

This course requires the ability to reflect on your practice and be open to understanding that the children and young people in your care have the ability to pick up on your mood – even when you think you have left your worries at home.
